On July 9, 2026, the European Parliament revived ChatControl 1.0, a law that allows tech companies to scan your private messages, emails, and social media communications for illegal material—without a warrant, without suspicion, and without your consent. The law passed not because it won a vote, but because the opposition failed to meet a procedural threshold. This is mass surveillance by the back door, and it sets a dangerous precedent for digital rights in Europe. Your privacy is at risks but we have some solutions!

WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) has transformed how we communicate over the internet, enabling real-time audio, video, and data sharing directly between browsers and devices. However, one persistent challenge has been the reliance on DNS (Domain Name System) resolution for establishing peer connections, especially when using TURN (Traversal Using Relays Around NAT) servers. At Twinlife, we’ve tackled this issue head-on by providing hostname resolution directly in the WebRTC peer connection factory. This innovation eliminates unnecessary DNS requests, resulting in faster, more reliable connections—especially in environments where DNS latency or failures can disrupt communication. This improvement also enhance the user's privacy by avoiding unecessary DNS requests.
